A desktop app for working with powerful agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini on your own files and folders. Point Palette Desktop at a local folder, or one your team shares through Google Drive or Dropbox. That folder becomes the workspace. Keep multiple chats going across multiple sessions, and review all work before saving it back. Palette Desktop works on its own. If your organization has Palette OS access, you can also browse the Context Library and mention a context page in chat. The agent can read that page when the Palette connector is connected.
Why it exists: Powerful agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini started in developer tools. Palette Desktop makes them practical for the work that is not code, with no terminal and review before anything saves back.

What it is

Files and folders are a practical way to give an agent durable context. They hold the source material, the structure of the work, and instructions the agent can follow. The context stays under your control and works with different supported agents. Point Palette Desktop at any folder on Google Drive or Dropbox, share it with your team, work with the agent of your choice across multiple chat sessions, and review every change before it saves back. No terminal, no setup that takes a week.

​
Who it’s for

People doing work outside the codebase who have hit the ceiling of chat tools:
  • GTM, ops, product, and design teams running real work through AI
  • Founders and operators in folders, not in chat
  • Anyone whose work lives in documents and folders, not in code
  • Teams that want to use the same context with different supported agents

​
For the work that is not code

Coding tools already serve codebase work well. Palette Desktop is for the planning, research, customer, operational, and company work around it. Engineers can use it for that work too.

​
Where it came from

Not long ago we found ourselves using Claude Code for pretty much everything, including everything outside engineering. We tried Cursor and Conductor. We even used the terminal directly. They were all made for engineering, not for the rest of our work. Cowork came along as a Claude-native workspace. What we wanted was to choose between supported agents, work together in shared folders, and review changes before they saved back. So we built it.
